and/or too much time on your hands.


What do you use to clean/shine the engine bay plastics that lasts long but isnt greasy? I tried some exterior plastics gel stuff made by the armorall mob, but didn't apply well and when it did collected way too much dust.

I use the awesome power of the elements, Rain to clean it, the Sun to dry it, Dirt and Dust to protect the paint.

meguiers tech wax 2.0 wash, and the same brand in wax. Use meguiers plastX on the lights too, and sometimes on the glass if there is a particularly stubborn mark. I also use it on the tail lights (Chaser only), but I also wax the tail lights to give them some gloss (both 205 and Chaser).

I also clay bar my cars every 6 months or so, makes the finish so prime.

meguiers leather conditioner to do the inside (I also use a wonderful invention called a vacuum cleaner)

Wheels I use a sponge and the soapy water left over after I wash the car, tires get whatever tire shine I have at that given time.

lol rizz

this is the chaser. but mark II treatment will be the same once its detailed.

Exterior wash:
Final inspection Paint pampering body shampoo
Power wheel cleaner V2
dried with microfibre waffle weave drying towel
tire dressing i use meguires hot shine tyre spray (smells like bubble gum) lol

the car is normally hit with a stage 2 detail so after every wash the car is hit with Seal strong

interior:

i hate using anything oil based giving a gloss look with dust sticking to it so i just wipe all plastic interior with a warm damp towel then dry it with a dry microfibre towel.
